A silk textile fragment from Central Asia, woven with gold-thread leaves during the Il-khanid period. It preserves a refined example of courtly weaving practice.
Small in scale yet technically rich, this fragment brings attention to the woven surface itself. Gold-thread motifs and supplementary-weft structure point to highly skilled textile production shaped by courtly taste.
The object is directly relevant to textile heritage: it preserves evidence of supplementary-weft weaving, material refinement, and the transmission of silk design across Central Asia.
